🚨 | George Russell will start the #USGP from the pit lane and running the Singapore spec parts. Mercedes needed to work on his car when cars were meant to be covered under parc fermé in order to complete the repairs. Lewis Hamilton set to start from the grid.

#F1 | Guenther Steiner says Lewis Hamilton would be a 8x world champion had, the late Formula 1 director, Charlie Whiting been alive: In his new book, he wrote: “Wherever your loyalties lie with that one (and yes, I agree, it was amazing entertainment), from a regulations point of view it was a shit show of biblical proportions, and regardless of what decision Charlie Whiting might have made in Michael Masi’s position there would have been far less controversy and embarrassment.” “Oh, fok it. We all know what Charlie would have done. Had he been at the helm Lewis would now be an eight-time world champion.”

📻 | Toto Wolff to Lewis: “We read the race wrong.” Bono says tyre gamble “shot us in the foot.”

Suggestion from Wolff backs up Ruth’s point about excessive tyre wear on the one-stop and the weight across four tyres potentially being a factor here #F1 #BelgianGP

On principle, there is no difference between what happened between the Mclarens in Hungary and Mercedes in Spa. Mclarens showed integrity and respect for Piastri and encouraged their driver to do the right thing. Mercedes showed no respect for Lewis and showed him out the door.

Lewis Hamilton said the tyres were good, yet Mercedes insisted on pitting him. However, as soon as George Russell requested a one-stop strategy, they gave the green light. How interesting.
